This microscope has made a tremendous impact in the classroom, allowing students to explore microorganisms, plant structures, and everyday objects at a microscopic level. One memorable moment was when a student exclaimed in amazement at seeing the intricate patterns on a leaf magnified on the screen, sparking curiosity and a lively discussion about cell structure and function.\r\n\r\nThe students' reactions have been inspiring. Many were initially surprised and excited by the clarity and detail the microscope provided, and this enthusiasm has carried over into their learning. They are now more engaged in their observations, asking deeper questions, and connecting what they see to biology concepts. The hands-on experience has helped them develop critical thinking, observation skills, and a greater appreciation for the microscopic world.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we plan to integrate this microscope into upcoming lessons and projects, including a unit on microorganisms and a collaborative research project where students document and share their findings. We hope that, with continued support, we can further modernize our lab and offer even more opportunities for our students to explore, experiment, and develop a lasting love for learning science. We offer our deepest appreciation for making this project possible and for helping our students discover, investigate, and grow as young scientists.","fullyFundedDate":1758311230325,"projectUrl":"project/empower-at-promise-students-to-explore/9679494/","projectTitle":"Empower ‘At Promise’ Students to Explore Life Through Digital Microscopy","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Palencia","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3119237_orig.jpg?crop=502,502,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1756936136851","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3119237"},{"teacherId":3119237,"projectId":9766387,"letterContent":"Our STEAM program began in 2018 as a Science Fair and later evolved into the Science and Math Fair, eventually becoming our annual STEAM Celebration.
